In reply to Topmax for Migraines, posted by Sprgrvr on June 23, 2003, at 17:02:37
(I'm new here too) I am also on topomax for migraines. I take 75mg twice a day. It's seems to be working pretty well. I still get some headaches but not nearly as intense as I used to. I also take Axert when I actually feel a headache coming on. It works most of the time. I did not lose any weight (because I will eat for no good reason..one of my other problems!!) but I can say it does decrease you appetite. ( I just don't listen!!) The side effects I've had have been minor..the tingling in my feet occassionally and the funny taste when I drink diet sodas or tea. I lived on codeine before topomax and still take it sometimes when all else fails ( but my doctor doesn't know that). He despises codeine and says it causes rebound headaches...but when you just can't take the pain???? Good luck with topomax!
